Construction company Vollhardt donates safety vests to daycare centers – better visibility during walks in the dark season
To ensure that the youngest road users are easily visible during the darker months, the construction company Vollhardt Bau donated a total of 250 high-visibility vests to daycare centers in Groß-Gerau. The yellow safety vests are intended to make children more visible during walks and outings. All municipal daycare centers that had previously registered a need for the vests were included in the donation.
High-visibility vests for greater safety on the road
Especially in autumn and winter, lighting conditions are often unfavorable. Therefore, when kindergarten groups are out and about at dusk or in the dark, it is particularly important that they are seen by other road users as early as possible.
With their donation, the company Vollhardt Bau wants to contribute to the safety of children.
The idea for the campaign came from Julia Vollhardt. Together with her husband Lucas Vollhardt, she personally handed over the safety vests to two daycare centers in Groß-Gerau.
“We have two children ourselves. When kindergarten children are out and about in groups, they are more visible in twilight and darkness if they wear high-visibility vests. This creates safety,” explains Julia Vollhardt.
Her husband Lucas adds with a wink: "And high-visibility vests are also fitting for a construction company."
Personal handover at two daycare centers
The handover of the safety vests took place at locations including the Sanddeich daycare center in Wallerstädten and the Grüner Weg daycare center in Groß-Gerau.
Lucas and Julia Vollhardt were accompanied by Mayor Jörg Rüddenklau and economic development officer Thorsten Eisenhofer.
The yellow vests bear the new company logo of Vollhardt Bau. They are simply pulled over the head and are equipped with an elastic band that ensures a good fit.
This makes them easy to put on and allows children to wear them on outings.
Daycare centers are delighted with the support
The high-visibility vests were gratefully received at both facilities visited.
Kathrin Zimmermann, head of the Sanddeich daycare center, emphasizes the practical benefits for everyday kindergarten life.
“We often go outside with the children, so the vests are helpful,” she explains.
Joint activities are also an integral part of the daily routine at the Grüner Weg daycare center.
“We often take the children for walks. Vests are practical for that,” says deputy director Maria Rinallo-Henneböhl.
The high-visibility vests are intended to help make groups of children more visible in road traffic.
The mayor thanks everyone for the donation
Mayor Jörg Rüddenklau also welcomes the company's commitment.
"This is a wonderful initiative for our children. Thank you to the Vollhardt company for this," he explains.
With the total of 250 donated safety vests, the construction company is supporting the daycare centers in Groß-Gerau in making their excursions safer, especially during the darker months.
